Toys We Loved As Kids
What toys did you have as a kid? A Barbie doll? LEGO collections? A Game Boy? Just thinking about these playthings probably brings a pang of nostalgia. If you're ready to take a trip down memory lane, we're here to help you relive it. Here are five toys from the past that likely defined your childhood.
1. Game Boy
Ah, of course the Game Boy had to be the first one on this list! Whether you played Tetris or The Legend of Zelda, this handheld console promised endless hours of fun. Even all these years later, it still has a special place in many of our hearts.
2. Barbie
The best thing about Barbie dolls was that they came in so many different outfits, themes, and occupations, which made it fun for kids who loved roleplaying and storytelling. Plus, the collectibles that came with each doll—clothes, cars, houses—made it all the more fun.
3. Tamagotchi
Another toy that defined our childhood was the Tamagotchi. No matter which version you got or grew up with, the experience was the same, which allowed us to raise a cute, tiny virtual pet. You might have even had more than one of these lying around when you were young!
4. Play-Doh
Remember making clay food and animals out of Play-Doh? This colorful, extremely moldable material allowed us to make everything under the sun, though it also left our hands sticky afterwards. No arts and crafts projects were complete without some Play-Doh!
5. LEGO
Whether you were building a car, a house, or an entire city, LEGO bricks let every kid bring their imagination to life. Sure, the tiny-sized ones hurt a lot when you accidentally stepped on one, but these little colorful pieces defined our childhood.
